I didn't go too far for today's Dave Trip. In fact it's an old standby for me when it comes to getting away. Part of the Cypress Island Preserve, Lake Martin is a beautiful lake surrounded by cypress and hardwood forest. Behind the visitor's center, you can get out into the swamp via boardwalk. You'll get up close and personal with nature. During the fall a lot of the wildlife will be hard to spot, but the colors of fall are everywhere! But, if you look closely you will spot a number of species of birds. Alligators are plentiful here, but as the cooler weather settles in, they're much more difficult to spot. On this trip, I didn't see any.
